History of Magic Class Guide

History of Magic Class Guide

History of Magic is unlocked in Year 5 of Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery. The class is taught the ghost of Professor Binns and is notorious for being the most boring class in Hogwarts. This is reinforced when Binns falls asleep almost immediately after the start of your first class.

Multiple familiar characters from the book series make an appearance in History of Magic. There will be lectures from Nearly Headless Nick, a portrait of Rowena Ravenclaw, Nymphadora Tonks, Rowan Khanna, and even Peeves. However most students will spend time goofing off as Professor Binns sleeps or remains completely oblivious.

History of Magic will reward the Knowledge attribute and is a bit different than the other classes. There is no shape tracing minigame. The expanding circle mini-game is replaced with the Sense Hexes activity (as seen in Defense Against the Dark Arts) which involves tapping to screen at a steady rate to lift a scroll into a specified area. And the majority of the time you will be answering a History of Magic specific question. For example an 8 hour class will generally feature 4 questions and 1 Sense Hexes mini-game.

Sense Hexes Activity

Tapping or holding a finger on the screen will raise the scroll, the speed at which it raises depends on how rapidly the screen is tapped. You will want to tap the screen at just the right rate to keep the scroll within the green marked area, keep it there for 5 seconds and you win. There is a 30 second time limit on completing the Sense Hexes activity.

Finally we will go over all questions which can be asked in History of Magic class. Check out our Class Guide for a full list of general questions that can be asked in any class.
